Thanks for the response, I read your review and it was very informative. I do however have a budget and it look s to be about $5000 for amp and pre-amp( looking at Pass X 2.5) so I may have to go with the 250.5. The system it will replace is a Parasound P-3 pre amp and Bryston 4B-St amp. The bryston is rated at 250 wpc and is plenty loud in my room 17x20x9. If you have had any experience with the Pass pre-amps please let me know. Thanks again for your help.
